Minty Mojito Cocktail Recipe

It was my birthday this weekend, and it’s a birthday tradition of mine to start the pre-party in the afternoon.

I usually prepare some refreshing cocktail drinks for me and my friends so we can enjoy before the night :)

So today I thought I’d share with you this very minty mojito cocktail recipe that I did.

A mojito is a classic Cuban cocktail that’s a blend of:

Ingredients:

-       White Rum

-       Sugar, but I substituted it with a natural sweetness that is honey.

-       Mint leaves

-       Lime juice

-       Soda water

To get started, add about:

-       10-12 leaves of French mint to a high ball glass

-       1tsp of honey. You can add more or less depending on how sweet you like your mojito.

-       Fresh lime juice. Fresh limes are always the best for the most vibrant flavor.

Recipe:

-       Now muddle all of these ingredients together. The key to muddling the mint leaves in a mojito is to be gentle. You don’t want to mash or tear the mint, you just want to gently add pressure to help release the oils and natural mint flavor.

-       Next, add 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of white rum

-       Fill your glass with ice cubes

-       Finally, top your glass off club soda

Enjoy your light and refreshing mojito!
